thank you for games help!

the lovely D invited me round to play dragon quest, and i spent all afternoon playing that, which is a bit like nethack when you don't know how to play (ie, how i play it) but on a board. (I overdid it at the weekend, because i also went to an evening party, but i discovered i can walk further if i close my eyes, so that was sort of ok.)

our copy of roll through the ages arrived - thanks B for your lovely advice, it's perfect. and judith has been excited about monarch, which she saw on tabletop, and that turns out to be a game where i can't physically do any of the things, but it's ok because everything's open so colin made my moves, and we all had fun and i won.

i'm still deciding whether to buy tiny epic galaxies, but i might have enough games to go on with, with those and sagrada which was a birthday present for j and is all about dice

elsenet, i've been taking tv advice, so i have started grace and frankie, which is a modern sitcom? it starts really sad, with the breakup of longterm relationships, but it's gripping. also riverdale, which is sabrina the teenage witch universe comic adaptation, although i think quite a long way from the comics, and i love it. a couple of other recs too, so i've got soem things to try (and i ordered the first two seasons of clarrisa explains it all on dvd, for a total of £2.80)

also, my cousin knows a special peeler for oranges which fits on the hand in such a way that i might be able to use it! so i ordered one of those. and someone else reminded me of electric tin openers, so all the stuff in the cupboard that is sitting lonely because i can't open it, i might be able to!

Have you ever played Kingmaker? I last played it 15 years ago with my ex-fiancé and I keep wondering if anyone else knows it/has it/plays it.

We used to be allowed to play it as a treat in history class at the end of term when I was in primary school (so mid-eighties). I remember it is deeply full of fiddly token manipulation of the kind that I believe ghoti can't do at the moment.

I can imagine they do and I really like Sam Waterston as well. Martin & Lily were president and secretary in The West Wing.
